Have you ever been lost in a fantasy or science fiction book 
and felt like the story world was real?

I am currently working on my dissertation as part of my doctoral studies at the Institute of 
Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto California. To complete this project I am doing 
research on reading fantasy literature in an absorbed state. In this study, fantasy literature 
is broadly defined and includes myths, legends, folktales, and fairy tales, as well as 
modern fantasy and science fiction. I could use your help.

I am looking for people who are 18 years of age or older, have read fantasy literature in an 
absorbed state of mind and have been positively affected or transformed by the 
experience, are willing to write about their experiences for confidential use and publication 
in this study, and are willing and able to communicate primarily via e-mail.

Participants in this study will write about their positive meaningful experiences of reading 
fantasy literature in an absorbed state of mind.
    
Please share your stories with me! If you are interested in participating, send an email 
message to campbell.dissertation at ... with your name and the best way to contact 
you (i.e., phone number or email) or call me at 650/799-5236 (cell phone).
 
Thank you so much for your help!
